Ligia Carvalhosa

“I was looking for slippers all over Brazil, where I’m from, but
I found them here at Steve Madden two weeks ago.
They’re more substantial than ballerina flats but
more delicate than loafers.”

Natalie Loos

25, producer

“I got these at Olive & Bette’s
this spring for $125. I’m
wearing red jeans today, but this isn’t the norm. I usually
wear all black and white, so leopard looks cute.”

Janice Chou

25, fashion market editor

“They’re from Topshop, and
I believe they were about $100. have to wear them
with socks, because I didn’t break them in before Fashion Week
and my feet are getting cut up.”

Juliet Frick Lash

“These are from Intermix, where
I work. They’re by Charles
Philip Shanghai and are one of
our best-selling shoes. I’m a big leopard person, but I also have them in a striped-canvas pattern.”

Julie Baird

32, executive assistant

“They’re Aperlai. I saw them
in Vogue, and I was dying to
have them. I think they were
about $600. I like flats—
I can’t walk around in heels, because I’m not 25 anymore!”

Caroline Sebastian

27, design assistant

“I got them from Dieppa Restrepo—my friends Elisa Restrepo and Andrea
Vargas Dieppa are the designers.
I like that the shoes look kind of Egyptian. I don’t like to wear
girlie shoes because I wear
a lot of dresses and am otherwise girlie-looking with long hair.”
